...system, which produces about 45 Megawatt Hours of power annually, provides Shad Hall with between 15 and 25 percent of its electricity each day. More importantly, Cook said, it reduces the emission of about 75,000 pounds of carbon dioxide—the equivalent of removing 220 cars from the road—each year...
...later this year a small South Wales company called Tidal Hydraulic Generators (THG) plans to lower a steel frame supporting five 6-m diameter turbines to the floor of the Severn Estuary. The tubes will translate the power of the tide as it ebbs and flows into one megawatt of electricity, enough to power about 500 homes. The project will be a test run for much larger rigs, with up to 50 turbines apiece, that could produce enough electricity for a small town. The inspiration for the turbines came on a calm day in 1997 when Richard Ayre, managing director...
...thrown by 100 North Korean officials and attended by the two U.N. weapons inspectors assigned to monitor the complex for signs that North Korea is trying to restart its nuclear-weapons program. In full view of the inspectors, the North Korean officials cut dozens of seals from a 5-megawatt nuclear reactor--reopening it for the first time in nearly a decade--and covered over U.N. surveillance cameras fixed to the walls of the plant. When they finished the task, the hosts celebrated with a round of beers...
...shipments and other aid?help he desperately needs to keep his citizens from starving?but also to wrestle a nonaggression treaty from the U.S. Kim figures he will have to get it while Washington remains occupied with Iraq. Last week's announcement that the country would reactivate its five-megawatt nuclear reactor in Yongbyon appeared to be another page from Kim's script. The facility was shut down under a 1994 agreement because it was capable of producing weapons-grade plutonium. But with the American government suspending oil shipments, the North claims its obligations to the U.S. are now null...
...don’t even know what year the player is. Any signs that could definitively set an 18-year-old apart from someone who’s 22 are obscured by the million-megawatt grin across his face, a facial feature that screams eight, nine years old or thereabouts. He could be a senior, doing this for the last time. Or he could be a freshman and maybe not quite know what all this means, except a little more partying later on that night...
